What banned books have you read?

See ACLU of Texas' 10th annual Banned Books report (pdf) to find out which Texas school libraries faced challenges last year over books like To Kill a Mockingbird, The Grapes of Wrath, or The Lemming Condition. This year the report contains an exclusive interview with Judy Blume, one of the state's most frequently banned authors. What banned books have you read lately?

UPDATE: Thanks the Debbie Russell of the ACLU Central Texas chapter for this reminder in the comments:

In Austin, please join us Wednesday evening for a special event:

In conjunction with Banned Books Week, on Wednesday, Sept. 27, the Central Texas ACLU is hosting an evening of short readings from some of the "scandalous" books that made the list. Come celebrate freedom with community leaders who care about uncensored access to knowledge!
